Some sexi mamis in San Pedro de Macoris, 10-15 minutes away. Boulevard is a block away with gua guas for San Pedro de Macoris, Boca Chica and Santo Domingo.
New waterpark opening soon between Juan Dolio and Boca Chica.
Showgirls was half a block from Caribe Paraiso. Nude dancing on the platform. Showgirls no longer there.
Photos from Showgirls, Juan Dolio.
Waterpark is now open. It is very modern. I was there a couple of weeks ago. First class place but 2000 pesos a person and it closes at 6:00. WTF ?? Lots of hotties showing off their bikinis. BUT not many dominicans will shell out $50 for a waterpark.

That water park isn't targeting poor Dominicans.. it's targeting the "second home in Juan Dolio" folks that have that kind of cash for pocket change. Poor folks will keep using the beach.
Things are picking up in JD. In the not so distant future, there's gonna be lots of folks around that will have the disposable income to utilize the water park.
If it's run well, it should make a lot of money.
Re: La Romana, Bayahibe and San Pedro de Macoris, February 2013
The water park was crowded when I was there. It blows away the old park in the capitol. I'm sure it was a big investment. Only time will tell...???

San Pedro de Macoris, November 2013
Nice buzz after leaving the Barcelo Rum fabrica in San Pedro de Macoris. Follow the signs for B.E.I.C.A (Barcelo Export Import Company), if you drive there. US$10 for the tour and some free drinks of various rums. Get there before 2PM and probably a good idea to call before. Good tour guide. Barrels are purchased from a company in Kentucky that used them to make bourbon. Some barrels are recycled and can be used at a home, (tables, chairs).
